My brother and I have just bought a house in Sneyd Green. We have noticed several issues with the property which we believe were omitted in the conveyancing searches. Is there anything we can do? What searches should? have been conducted for conveyancing in Sneyd Green?
It is not clear from the question as to the nature of the problems and if they are unique to conveyancing in Sneyd Green. Conveyancing searches and due diligence undertaken during the buying process are supposed to help avoid problems. As part of the legal transfer of property, the vendor fills in a questionnaire referred to as a Seller’s Property Information Form. If the information proves to be incorrect, you could possibly take legal action against the owner for any losses that you have suffered. The survey should have identified any problems with the structure of the property. Assuming a detailed survey was carried out and the issues were not identified, you may have a claim against the surveyor. However, if you did not have a full survey, you may be responsible for fixing any defects that have now been noted. We would always encourage buyers to take every possible step to ensure they are completely aware of the condition of a property before purchase regardless of whether they are buying in Sneyd Green.

My partner and I have organised a further advance on our home loan from Santander as we wish to conduct renovations to our property in Sneyd Green. Do we need to choose a high street Sneyd Green solicitor on the Santander conveyancing panel to handle the paperwork?
Santander don't usually require a member of their conveyancing panel to handle such a matter. If they do require any legal work then you would need to ensure that such a lawyer was on the Santander panel.
My wife and I are in the process of looking at flats in Sneyd Green and I am about to put in an offer. Is it too early to have a solicitor in place? I intend to finance via a mortgage with Coventry BS.
You should start obtaining conveyancing quotes from solicitors ASAP. Once you decide who you want to use and once your offer is accepted you can instruct them to work for you and pass their details on to the estate agent. Given that you are obtaining a mortgage with Coventry BS, make sure you remember to check that your lawyer is on the Coventry BS conveyancing panel.
I am due to exchange contracts on my apartment. I had a double glazing fitted in February 2007, but did not receive a FENSA certificate or Building Regulation Certificate. My buyer's lender, Principality are being a right pain. The Sneyd Green solicitor who is on the Principality conveyancing panel is happy to accept ‘lack of building regulation’ insurance but Principality are requiring a building regulation certificate. Why do Principality have a conveyancing panel if they don't accept advice from them?
It is probably the case that Principality have referred the matter to their valuer. The reason why Principality may not want to accept indemnity insurance is because it does not give them any reassurance that the double glazing was correctly and safely installed. The indemnity insurance merely protects against enforcement action which is very unlikely anyway.

I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold issue on a property I have offered on a fortnight ago in what was supposed to be a simple, no chain conveyancing. Sneyd Green is where the house is located. Is there any guidance you can give?
